After a three-year swoon, the Nuggets look ready to rejoin the Western Conference fracas, with an offense that should be among the league’s best. They added four-time All-Star Paul Millsap to a deep, young roster led by crafty big man Nikola Jokic, and head into this season with expectations of a return to the playoffs.
They haven’t disappointed thus far, averaging over 113 points in their three preseason wins, which included one over the Warriors in their opener. Should it allay concerns about Kenneth Faried’s alleged discontent or the fact that they have 19 power forwards?
